March was a very productive month for IELTS test takers, with a lot of activity and many good scores. As a result today we’re happy to present 23 high achievers who won in our IELTS Results competition in March.

Congratulations to all the winners! You worked so hard to get here, and we are very happy you made it! To celebrate your big achievements we’re sending your special certificates to your emails. Your IELTS results will be displayed in the IELTS-Blog hall of fame – please feel free to show off to your family and friends!

So, how does one get a high Band score in IELTS? All we know is that Anita Williams and Lee Gordoncillo (Band 8) prepared using our book “Target Band 7”, and also that Kashif Akram, Benix Masangcay, Minh Ngo and Fatima Espinosa (Band 7.5) prepared using ‘Ace the IELTS’ e-book. Surely our winners can share some practical tips that helped them, and can help others score higher.

This is why we’re asking all the winners to send us their stories of how they prepared and studied, and what helped them achieve success in IELTS. Anything they wish to share will be posted on IELTS-Blog without delay, so everyone can use the same technique and get a better score in their own exam this month.
